View all past activity on your Flickr photos
If you’re trying to look back to see which photos on Flickr other members have commented on or favorited, you’ll quickly notice that the drop-down menu for Recent activity on your photos only allows you to search for activity up to one month prior. At first glance, it seems that if you want to look back across the past year, you’re out of luck.
It’s pretty easy to get around this problem, though. If you notice the URL bar on your browser while you’re on the recent activity page, you’ll see that it reads something like ‘http://flickr.com/recent_activity.gne?days=30′ Ok, so it seems that there’s a variable there named ‘days,’ which implies that the drop-down is setting the number of days worth of activity to display. Now, although there’s no drop-down option that shows more than 30 days, entering any number after the = sign seems to work just fine. I tried it successfully up to 1000 days, or approximately 3 years. If you’ve got a lot of comments, of course, this search could be pretty slow, so be patient with it.
